Nooker booder butts

I know it's been awhile, but not saying anything doesn't seem right either. These pictures were taken just after we found out that Nanook had lymphoma. We tried to cuddle, play ball, give him lots of treats and spoil the crap out of him because we knew his days were numbered.
I remember when I met Scott and he had this great dog. Hairy, but cute and fun. And he (Nanook not Scott) seemed to know all the commands - sit, shake, gentle. He was Scott's buddy and at times I felt like Nanook didn't like me. He'd even get jealous when Scott and I cuddled and kissed.
But we grew to love each other.
And it was the hardest thing we've ever done, saying goodbye to him. On March 20, 2006, we had to put Nanook to sleep. He had such a long, loving, fun life. He was the king around here - he knew it, we knew it. But the king has left the building.
We miss him dearly.
